The Cloud computing paradigm promises reliable services, accessible from anywhere in the world, in an on-demand manner. Insufficient security has been identified as a major obstacle to adopting Cloud services. To deal with the risks associated with outsourcing data and applications to the Cloud, new...
The globally growing prevalence of dementia is increasing the demand for assistive information and communication technology (ICT). However, persons with cognitive impairments associated with dementia are rarely given an active role in design of technologies that can assist them in their daily lives...
Several moisture problems in buildings may be traced back to snow and rain ingress through fresh air ventilation intakes on walls and roofs. Some of these have also lead to health problems. Hence, general solution principles for shielding of the fresh air ventilation intakes towards snow and rain...
The overall objective of Mediate, Methodology for Describing the Accessibility of Transport in Europe, is to contribute to the development of inclusive urban transport systems with better access for all citizens. This paper describes the process of developing indicators for accessibility to public...
Thermal oxidation of a 3000 Al sheet rolled alloy was carried out in various atmospheres with a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The effect of a flash anodized surface versus an untreated rolled surface is investigated. All samples were oxidized for 4 hours at 800°C. Samples oxidized in air...
A large number of facilities and parts of the infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf are approaching or have exceeded their original design life. Many fields, however, have remaining recoverable oil and gas reserves which may be profitable if the field's life is extended. From a safety...

This paper derives and experimentally investigates fundamental properties of the velocity of a snake robot conducting lateral undulation. In particular, the derived properties state that the average forward velocity of the snake robot 1) is proportional to the squared amplitude of the sinusoidal...
...“Flood frequency analysis and flood water level calculation for rivers in cities”. Urbanization and climate change are two driving factors that have increased risk of flooding and pollution and caused other adverse consequences in cities. In contrast to large river basins, intensive rainfall or...
